A Grange writer says: Judging
from all the reports that are coming in
from the various signal stations over
the country, the probabilities" plain
ly indicate for the coming months of
Fall and Winter more activity in the
Grange atmosphere than for long
time. The cold wave has passed, the
temperature is rising and warm
wave is rolling across the continent
widespread and SO penetrating that ev-
en- the most remote districts must feel
its influence. Offensive and yet de.
fensive, aggressive and yet conservative
the Grange is moving grandly on.
winning more and more the respect
that age commands, and the success
good cause so well deserves. let the
laint hearts and those of little faith
cheer up and take hold again. Let
those who have followed after new and
strange gods return again to the faith
Of their fathers. Let the lost and stray
sheep come once more into the fold.
The Grange was never so successful as
now; figures, words and deeds pro-
claim it. Nothing succeeds like sue

1t has often been observed that COWS
will turn from cool spring water in sum-
mer, when man would naturally prefer
it, to drink out of warm brook or pud-
die. This is because they prefer warm
drink, says the U. S. Dairyman. In
the brook the temperature is likely to
be about seventy degrees; in the pond,
if shallow, it may run up to eighty de-
grees. These facts are suggested by the
experiments made at the Kansas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, which
showed that when cows are given water
at 'the temperature Of eighty degrees
they yield eight and ne-half per cent
more milk than when given water at
forty degrees. We think that, as
general thing, the difference will be
found even greater than this.-Ec.

THE BISHOPS AND THE KNIGHTS.
Cardinal Gibbons Takes Ground In
Favor of the Organization be-
fore the Vatican
rBy Anglo-American cable TO tho Dispatch.

lBy Anglo-American cable 10 tho Dispatch.I
ROME, March 1.-The correspondent
here OF the Associated Press is author
lied to state that the American Bishops
take favorable view of the organlza-
ton known in the United States as the
Knights of Labor. Cardinal Gibbons
has placed before the Vatican formal
statementas to the nature of the organl-
cation and the attitude the Church
should adopt toward it. The Cardinal
saws he considers any condemnation OF
the knights would be not only
useless, but highly inopportune, and
that it might ALLEVIATE the sympathy OF
American laboring classes from the
Church and might hamper the mission
OF the Church to the laboring poor.
In addition to the above positions re-
commended by the statement of Car
dinal Gibbons, the Primate treats the
alarmist theories respecting the Knights
of Labor as puerile, and says that
nearly one third of the men belonging
to the organization are Roman
Catholics. Respecting the charge that
the association is secret order, the
Cardinal says it is not secret order in
the sense condemned by the Church,
ard is consequently exempt from ca
nonical censure. In Canada the case
is different. Cardinal Gibbons further
says he considers the organization OF
the Knights of Labor in the United
States not only harmless, but that it
will possibly be beneficial, assisting in
the eventual settlement of the great
question of the proper relations between
labor and capital.

Practical Education.
The Savannah NeUS thinks that

The Savannah NelUS thinks that:
"What is needed in the United States,
and especially in the South, is educa-
ton that will so train youths that they
will not find it necessary after gradua-
ting to spend several years finding out
what they are fit for and becoming ac-
quainted with the ordinary principles
of business. There are those who call
such education utilitari0n, but there is
no reason why utilitarian education
should be inconsistent with the highest
scholastic attainments
Tt would seem that thisidea has taken
practical shape with the authorities
of the Tulane University, Louisiana.
The New Orleans TGmcS-Democrat, in
an article on the manual school con-
nected with the University, says:
at is impossible to overestimate the
beneficial results that have flowed from
this institution. The students attend
ing it have zealously sought to profit
by the opportunities offered them and
have profted by them. The young
ladies attending the School of Design
are now capable of many works of arr
and design, while the young men are
proficient in all manner of mechanical
work and industries. In this way New
Orleans is laying the foundation for be
coming a great manufacturing and art
centre, assuring it an abundance Of
skilled labor of the highest order"
Does not all this constitute a strong
appeal to our citizens to accord hearty
and substantial support to those who
arc laboring to establish grand Me
chanics' Institute in Richmond?

Another Negro.

What a singular man Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND is. Who can fathom his mind
and reveal the reasons which induce
him to do so many unaccountable
things? Why should he ever have Sc
lected a negro to be Recorder of Deeds
for the District of Columbia =? Why
did he reappOint the same negro, after
the refusal of the Senate to consent to
the appointment ? Why did he APP
point second negro TO the same i'm
portant office? The Washington Post
is very severe upon the President 1t
says:
"We sincerely hope that the last
nomination of the President for Re-
corder of Deeds in the District will not
be confirmed by the Senate and that o
white man who is also a 6Cna:fde resi-
dent of the District will eventually be
chosen in his stead.
1.-The people of this District have
done nothing to invite or deserve such
an aspersion as that which Is involved
in the Presidents insisting in placing a
negro in such authority over them. 1t
was their misfortune and not their fault
that the Office was given in the first in
stance to Mr.. Fred. Douglass. Because
Mr.. Garfield did not care to continue
Mr.. Douglass as the principal figure OF
his official household and gave him the
recordership to stop his complaints, it
does not follow that the position is al
ways to be held by an imported negro. "
1t is surmised in some quarters that
the President has set trap for the
Republicans. But we fear that he has
set one for himself. There will not be
one negro vote cast for the Democratic
ticket in Virginia next fall because Mr..
CLEVELAND has selected negro for an
Office which ought to be held by a white
man.

An Example for Bond.

There is one Federal circuit judge
WHO knows that he has no right TO in
terfere in the domestic affairs OF any
State. On Monday last Judge GREs-
HAM, of Indiana, declared that the Fed
eral courts had no right to take cogni-
zance of election frauds committed at
county elections where congressman
are also chosen, but where only the
county and not the congressional vote
is tempered with, He held that the
changes of the vote for county officers
did not impair the vote for congressman
or other candidates on the same tally
sheet.
In other words, the election frauds
in that case were to be punished by the
State courts, and not the Federal
courts.

A Candid Confession.

Hon. WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS, Of
New Jersey, is Mr.. BLAINE's most de-
voted and perhaps most intimate friend.
IT is, therefore, not PHELPS only that
speaks when this Jerseyite talks, but it
is Mr.. BLAINE. 1t is also the New York
tribune. Now read what Mr.. PHELPS
said at the New England dinner in New
York few weeks ago. We quote:
"The silver-men are not all right
vet, and they are very wrong to cling
still to a deprecated dollar. But be-
cause they ere wrong at this point, L
am not going to forget that l was wrong
at the other. l admit now, as the
world does, that gold as the only legal
tender is impracticable, and that the
ultimate outcome of our currency trou-
bles must and viii be the use of two
metals. A silver dollar shall pass as a
gold dollar, only the silver dollar must
have enough silver to be worth the gold
collar; and that is nothing bat bimetal-
ism, and the stupid western member
has brought us and the world to that
conclusion"
Now that utterance means that both
parties will go into the next presiden-
tial campaign with bimetallists as their
candidates II is great triumph OF
truth over Wall street ignorance.

We take il for granted that Governor
wilson has not appointed Mr.. Lucas a
United States Senator, but merely ex-
pressed his intention to do so. He will
have no right toappoint a United states
Senator until after Mr.. CAMDEN's term
expires--on the 4th Of March. Then
he can appoint senator to hold only
until the next meeting" Cthis is the
word in the Federal Constitution OF the
Legislature whether Irregular, gene
raj, special, particular, or called, to
quote West Virginia lawyer. And no
provision of the law or the Constitution
of West Virginia can divest the Legis-
lature OF the power to elect at its first
session. 1t is folly to quote State laws
against the Federal Constitution. We
mention this fact because we have seen
il stated that the Constitution of West
Virginia provides that at special SEES
sion only such business can be trans
acted as is specified in the Governors
call
II is said that the Governor of West
Virginia will call an extra session of the
Legislature in April. If, then, there
be no extra session of Congress this
spring, and the Legislature succeeds in
electing a United States Senator in
april Mr.. LUCAS will never take seat
in the Senate. He can, however, draw
his salary by the month after the 4th OF
March.
There is great dissatisfaction amongst
the Democrats of West Virginia because
the leader of the anti-caucus Demo
Gratis is to be Mr.. CAMDEN's successor.
